Can youngsters no longer grow their hair to the sunnah length at the ears or shoulders?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
I heard from our elders (buzurg) that the youngsters cannot longer their hairs as of sunnah at ear lobes or at the shoulders.

Every person can grow his hair according to sunnah. However if teenagers avoid growing hair like this then there is no harm, rather it is better.
